Excerpt from Selections From the Works of Fourier

More than one of our readers perhaps will be somewhat scandalised to see the name of Fourier enter into this collec tiou,ll following upon that of Adam Smith, of J. B. Say, of Ricardo z - but no one, surely, will be more surprised than Fourier himself would have been, bad he been able to behold himself in such company. He professed, in fact, for all econo mists (whom, indeed, with the exception of J. B. Say, he appears not to have read), and for political economy itself, a supreme contempt, and he classed this science, along with metaphysics, moral philosophy, and politics, under the head of the four uncertain sciences, an epithet which really implies nothing very dishonourable; but neither is it one altogether undeserved.
